The lessons of daisyworld Climate system: not just passive, there are feedback loops; negative feedback loop => damp external forcing. Daisyworld: increase life span; Real climate system: negative feedback loops => stabilize the system. Self regulating. Coupling in the system self regulates. Gaia hypothesis. Even a stable system: persistent forcing, could become unstable.

Summary of chapter 2 Systems: components - couplings - feedback loops; Positive feedback loop - amplify perturbation or forcing; Negative feedback loop - damp; Equilibrium states: stable & unstable; Daisyworld climate system - negative feedback Loop => self regulating (naturally).

: period, the time it takes the electromagnetic waves to travel for one wavelength.

Wavelength=speed x period=speed/frequency

Photons and photon energy
Electromagnetic waves: also behave more like a stream of particles. (wave-particle duality) A single particle, or pulse, of electromagnetic radiation is referred to as a photon. Energy E of a photon is:
